On the US end of eBay, one seller is offering the PlayStation 4 bundle of Batman: Arkham Knight for less than the RRP.

Not to be confused with the grey limited edition, the bundle offered here comes with the standard 500GB model and a copy of the game.

You can get it for $369.99 – which is a good saving on both the console and the game. Just follow the link.

Be quick though as these bundles usually don’t stay for long.

Another quick search with the words “P.T. playstation 4″ still returns a number of results. That’s on both UK and US marketplaces.

Something I found interesting is how some of these sellers are advertising other games with the bundle, perhaps as a way of avoiding eBay’s bots.

Whether or not these will be removed, remains to be seen. Regardless of your interest in P.T., it’s hard not to argue that Konami’s decision created a state of artificial scarcity of a digital product. This is the first – at least major – such case, and as we’re still trying to parse the repercussions of all of this, perhaps so is eBay.

P.T., the playable teaser for Silent Hills, is going to be removed from PSN today, following the game’s cancellation. Which means that only those who have downloaded it before, or have it in their library, will be able to download it later.

Naturally, this has lead a few entrepreneurs to the idea of selling PlayStation 4 systems with the demo installed for upwards of £1,000.00. These are not new eBay accounts either, bothusers have sold other items through eBay before.

Not everyone is anxious to play Episode Duscae it would seem. Several owners of Final Fantasy Type-0 HD, which comes with a voucher for Episode Duscae, have turned to eBay to sell the vouchers for upwards of $40.

You knew this would happen, you knew it the moment you and everybody else read the “limited quantities” line when Sony announced the 20th Anniversary Edition PS4.

Technologysupp is the name of the lucky eBay seller.

“Though the item did sell. I had to inform my customer that we were actually going to get the console in late December, contrary to the dates posted in my listing [December 9th to December 13th],” he told Gamer Headlines.

The buyer already sent the full amount via PayPal. “Money is in the bank. Sent him an eBay invoice with the grand total and was paid immediately via PayPal. No questions, doubts or anything,” he added.

If you go to eBay and type PS4 Anniversary Edition in the search bar, you’ll be greeted with hundreds of listings. Almost everyone of those listings are just images showing the seller has pre-ordered one, with an estimated delivery date of late December.

There will no doubt be more of these in the future, but it would be great to know that not everyone who bought the console aims to sell it.

The collection includes over 5,700 Games and over 50 systems, according to the listing.

Reel.big.fish is offering their collection for sale on eBay, for a measly $164,000. He claims the collection has over 50 game systems, ranging from Atari, Nintendo and Sega, to modern Sony and Microsoft ones. There is even multiple versions of N64 that cover all the coloured released, and some modded ones.

The game collection includes games mainly from the late 80s and early 90s era. Over 4000 titles from Nintendo, covering almost every commercially-released game on the system. The breakdown of everything included is incredibly massive.

The collection appears to be well-organised and looked after, judging from how everything is stored into categorised cabinets. Issues of Nintendo Power are also framed on the wall there, for added nostalgia.

Have a look at the gallery below if you can’t afford to spend that kind of money.

Speaking to Gamespot, eBay confirmed that 10,000 PS4s were sold through the site last weekend, following the North American launch on Friday.

In total, over 15,000 PS4’s have been sold through eBay since November 1, and more than two systems were sold every minute between November 15 and 17.

There are currently around 13,000 PS4 listings on eBay, but sales of older consoles have also spiked by 25% compared to the ten days before the PS4’s launch, presumably as gamers endeavour to fund the purchase of new hardware.

The PS4 hits Europe and selected further territories on November 29.

The listing opens, “After a life spent collecting video games I decide to sell off my entire collection. I just have too much things and the space to store them is finished long ago.”

There collection holds 6850 from Pong all the way up to modern titles, over 330 consoles, some 220 controllers and over 185 accessories.

Hot damn. At the time of writing the collection has received no bids.

To prove the validity of the listing, the seller has created an image library of the wares.

The gouging comes as GameStop opened a long waiting list for Wii U pre-orders due to the initial run of consoles disappearing rapidly.

What do you make of the prices being charged by re-sellers? Is it their business, or should someone step in? Let us know below.

Until now that is. Someone is selling what could be the world’s only American FInal Fantasy 2 cartridge, but it’ll cost you. A lot.

The cartridge is currently being bid on over at eBay, complete with item description, shots of the insides and more.

Although it was never sold over here, this Final Fantasy 2 cartridge is a fully working demo model that was created by Squaresoft (now Square-Enix) for the 1991 Winter Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas – similar to an early build you might see showcased at E3 or gamescom.

The item description reads, “A pre-production sample cartridge for any video game from this era is rare indeed, but for one to survive for a game that was never actually released is something of a miracle. Having that unreleased game be a part of one of the most important franchises in video game history is basically unheard of.”

“I have been the proud owner of this cartridge for over nine years now, and as far as I am aware, this is the only legitimate copy of the game that exists. Any other copies you have seen of Final Fantasy II for the NES have been bootlegs, this is the real deal.”

So if you have some spare rainy day cash, well, you probably won’t be able to afford it. Let’s not kid ourselves. Still, it’d be a fine thing to own.

The listing included 22 fullsets – complete collections of games released over a system’s lifespan – as well as massive piles of accessories and oddities. It’s worth a bit of a drool over before the listing expires.

Starting at midnight tonight on eBay, Capcom will be auctioning off 20 tickets to the Ultimate Showdown, a private media event for the game.

Along with being able to get hands-on with the fighter, participants will also be treated to Street Fighter and Tekken DJs, dancers and cocktails.

The auction ends at midnight on February 25, and all money will be donated to CALM which works to reduce the high suicide rates amongst men under 35. By taking part in the Street Fighter X Tekken auction you can help the charity works to reduce the number of young men who choose to end their lives – in 2010 75% of suicides were men.

The bidding page is through here, but note that as of press time it isn’t live – so hit the link at midnight.

Street Fighter x Tekken releases March 6 in the US and March 9 in Europe on PS3 and Xbox 360. A PC version is due in May, and a it lands on Vita in the fall.

TF1 News cites sources close to the investigation in reporting that €400,000 in games was stolen from a French truck transporting video games on Saturday morning.

Two masked men armed with knives are said to have carried out the heist, luring a pair of distributor employees from their vehicle by staging a car accident before attacking them with tear gas.

Ultimate PS3 claims the truck was filled with copies of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 en route to retailers for launch this week, but did not link to sources; searching on either media outlet turned up no results.

In the build up to release this week, prices for early retail copies of the game have skyrocketed, with MCV reporting one weekend sale brought in $1725.

With priority shipping, the early bird may have gained up to four days lead on the competition.

Prices have cooled somewhat; one seller has sold 18 copies of the game ahead of release date at £54.99.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 releases on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on November 8.

Lazard analyst Colin Sebastian expects more retailers to start selling used games now Amazon has entered into the market, says a Gamsutra report.

“According to our industry checks, one large consumer electronics retail chain is rekindling efforts to sell used video games, while another general merchandise ‘big box’ store is in trials to buy back games in exchange for store credit,” he said.

Sebastian said that the market sector is worth $2 billion annually in North America, and will further increase competition for the likes of eBay, GameCrazy and GameStop. Add in a 50 percent gross margin and it becomes even more attractive to retailers.

However, as lucrative as that sounds, Sebastian isn’t expecting any newcomers to challenge GameStop’s reign at the top any time soon.

Media Molecule’s platformer had already shipped to retailers before a problem with lines from the Qur’an being included in one of the title’s background tracks cause a pull-back.

Off you go, then. Get yourself a genuine, bona fide rarity, should you feel the need.

This is £50 more than the new 80Gb model which is heavily rumoured to be hitting UK shores this Friday.

In fact, 60Gb models have been selling for around £400 on Amazon, which, combined with GAME’s high pricing, could mean that backwards compatibility is something people want and are willing to pay extra for.

Here. All 606 games, all sealed. He wants $20,000 for the lot. We’re prepared to take odds-on bets that no one buys this.

Which, as the article notes, is great, but you can’t resell VC games. And you can’t hold them in your hands. But to be honest, you’ve just saved $1,200, so who cares?
